    Default Is Earth 2 done?

    ???

    I'm guessing with the return of the JSA, we don't need a younger version running around?

    As far as I know the universe of Earth 2 is not going anywhere

    I don't think it'll get used much, if at all. I think DC might finally learned its lesson about splitting its fan bases. But then again, I'm an optimist.

    I'd be happy to see it be replaced for the JSA Earth 2 that others seem to want.

    I'd just keep Power Girl and Huntress from the Earth 2 book and bring them over, again.

    I hope they don't leave behind characters like Val Zod, he was a interesting a cool new character and I'd hate for them to leave him behind for nostalgia's sake.

    I agree with you about Val Zod. I would also keep the Red Tornado (Lois Lane), Aquawoman (Queen Marella), Doctor Fate (Kahlid Ben-Hassin), and Terry Sloan from Earth 2.

    IT is there if anyone wanted to pick it up again but I don't see it for a while at least.

    Something likely happened to the current Earth 2, seeing as how Power Girl is stuck between universes for some reason.

    I hope the Earth 2 Hawkgirl and Aquawoman make the transition to Prime Earth (or whatever it will be called post-Doomsday Clock.)

    Loved them and their character designs.

    Hopefully it is forgotten. I'd rather have characters like the old pre-Flashpoint Power Girl back than the New 52 one if given the option. The New 52 one was just a poor imitation. Characters like Val Zod you can just say there is a main Earth version of him and use that one if people want.

    Earth-2 honestly ended well enough where I don't know what else they could do with it. That Earth and its characters' story feels complete to me.

    But is there any indication that the JSA will be introduced into the Rebirth era?

    DC's giving the impression that the JSA is returning, but the questions of when and how remain unanswered.

    It sure seems done. It was selling poorly at the time of cancellation. It just turned it to a complete and utter mess from the original idea. If an Earth 2 is ever seen again within the current structure, if the returned Power Girl still hails from said planet, for example, I would expect it to not have any connection to this version. But then again, who knows. I think they should make it the home of the classic JSA but they're clearly not doing that, they're back on the main Earth unfortunately.

    Confirming when the JSA is returning would definitely win over readers. The classic flavour has been away since Flashpoint and the New 52 Earth 2 has been through a fair few shake ups (World's End, Convergence, Society and the Pandora's box incident).

    Earth 2 went through so many editorial shifts and changes in direction until ending up back basically where Robinson's issue 1 started. The JSA franchise has drifted towards a focus on the younger characters many times (Super Squad, Infinity, Inc, Young All Stars, Earth 2) but each of those has been moved back to the traditional older JSA.

    I liked the nu52 Earth 2 as it started and finished. I preferred the original JSA, but I liked this enough to buy and read it. I think a few transplants to the reboirthed JSA and the remaining Earth 2 characters make a good occasional crossover. Or whatever DC's planning for them.

    This is becoming frustrating.
